They were all like siblings, Mr. Kapasi thought as they passed a row of date trees. Mr. and Mrs. Das behaved like an older brother and sister, not parents.
In "Interpreter of Maladies," Mr. Kapasi observes the interactions between Mr. and Mrs. Das and their children, noticing that they seem more like older siblings than authoritative parents. This dynamic reflects a modern approach to family where the parents, instead of taking on traditional roles, engage with their children in a more casual and playful manner.
This observation sheds light on the complexities of parental roles in contemporary society. While this sibling-like relationship may foster closeness, it also raises questions about authority and responsibility, revealing the evolving nature of family structures in today's world.
